Corpse Recovery Diver
Chapter 459 - 83

Chapter 459: Chapter 83

Zhuangzhuang’s kung fu skills were truly honed; when he was kicked and landed, he managed to keep his balance by supporting himself with his knees and elbows, and not a single drop spilled from the oil dish in his hand.

He turned back to look behind him, exclaiming in surprise:

"No way, Dad, is our ancestral grave really on fire?"

Although Tan Wenbin is from a police family which had been previously held in high regard by Li Zhiyuan and Rensheng at the police station’s entrance.

However, the "family" here refers to a legacy of honor and duty, not actual "family power."

Before, Tan Wenbin didn’t believe his father had come because he knew a bit about the internal promotion process of the system.

But his father really did come, and he was even wearing a police uniform.

While driving to the school with several new colleagues, the topic of children’s education came up, and Tan Yunlong shared his "parenting experience," meaning it’s normal for children to be playful and ignorant when young, they will smarten up as they grow.

It mainly served to comfort his colleagues, with a bit of modest bragging on the side.

Upon entering the school gate, he casually pointed at the entrance and mentioned coincidentally, his son was admitted to this school this year.

Just as they were entering the building and his colleagues were inquiring more about his parenting tips, he was walking behind his son when he heard this scene.

The sarcastic remarks about himself and their family grave, coupled with the accurate local dialect, would likely make the new colleagues forget where they’re from.

This wasn’t the first time; it seemed like every time he was about to take pride in his children and enjoy the emotional satisfaction that all normal parents crave, his son would precisely ruin his moment.

You’d say he hasn’t grown up yet, but over the past year he’s completely changed, yet if you say he’s really sensible, he’s never quite proper.

"Dad, did you come to Jinling to attend a study event or to receive an award?"

Tan Yunlong ignored his son, took out his credentials, and went about the procedures, "There are some issues we need you to cooperate with further questioning, you guys go ahead and eat, we’re not in a hurry."

Runsheng asked, "Uncle Tan, together?"

"No need, we’ve eaten."

Li Zhiyuan put down his chopsticks, and so did everyone else.

During this time, Runsheng and Yin Meng had already undergone two rounds of questioning, and he and Tan Wenbin, being students in the school at the time, had also been questioned.

"Let’s start then." Tan Yunlong moved to Li Zhiyuan’s side, gesturing for his colleagues to proceed with others, "Let’s make it quick, to not delay their business."

"Dad!"

Tan Wenbin called out again, and Tan Yunlong, gesturing at another accompanying police officer, appeared to be entrusting his care.

With drooping shoulders, Tan Wenbin had no choice but to sit down at the counter and answer questions.

Li Zhiyuan led Tan Yunlong to the basement, where Sun Hongxia’s room had been sealed off. Tan Yunlong personally broke the seal and led Li Zhiyuan inside.

"Uncle Tan, congratulations."

Tan Yunlong was clearly in investigation mode, not here as a delegate attending a conference or receiving any awards.

And if he were dispatched to assist in work, it surely wouldn’t involve transferring a rural police officer from Nantong.

"Heh heh, Xiao Yuan, your uncle is still a bit confused, how I suddenly got transferred here."

"Did your work situation change?"

"People have moved here first, the procedures are still ongoing." Tan Yunlong pulled out a cigarette, not lighting it, just holding it, scanning the room, "Before entering the school, I was thinking about visiting you and Binbin after the investigation process, I didn’t expect to encounter it here; when I saw the name Lu Runsheng on the dossier, it sounded familiar, turns out it is Marquis Runsheng."

In his hometown, dialects are often used, making the pronunciation non-standard Mandarin, and when it comes to names, people tend to simplify and add modal particles, often old friends who’ve known each other for decades might not recognize the written names upon first glance.

"Uncle Tan, were you specifically transferred to investigate this disappearance case?"

Tan Yunlong paused, twisting the cigarette in his hand, asked, "Xiao Yuan, does Binbin still smoke?"

"He does."

"Did he smoke this time too?"

"Yes, we even have the smell of his cigarettes on us."

Tan Yunlong stretched his arms, "It seems difficult to find any useful leads, I’ve just come back from General Mountain’s temple, it was burned very cleanly."

"I think the investigation should focus on the real culprit of the case from seven years ago."

"Was it him?"

Li Zhiyuan shook his head, "Whether it was him or not, we can’t let the real murderer continue to roam free."

"Mmm, indeed."

"Uncle Tan, Binbin previously got the dossier, could it be related to that?"

Tan Yunlong confidently said, "No."

"Then it must be related to your past issues."

"I’d like to know why too." Tan Yunlong walked out of Sun Hongxia’s room, lighting the cigarette, "The questioning is over, Xiao Yuan, let’s go upstairs."

Li Zhiyuan followed him upstairs, the questioning of the others had also concluded by then.

Everyone had good psychological strength; naturally, they wouldn’t show any slip-ups during the questioning.

They feared disrupting their lives by intentionally concealing some details, but fundamentally, the case really had nothing to do with them.

No living person died by their hands, that night they only dealt with... no, liberated a corpse that had given up resisting.

"Xiao Yuan, after I finish my tasks, shall we have supper together later?"

"Sure."

"Which building does Ran Qiuping supervise as the dorm manager?"

"Our building."

"Then lead us there again."

"Uncle Tan, I have some matters, let Binbin accompany you; we’ll meet during supper."
